Bruce Springsteen will perform in a free live concert at the Main Oval at The Ohio State University at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 5th, encouraging Barack Obama supporters to register and take advantage of Ohio’s early voting period that ends the following day:

Springsteen’s appearance at OSU’s Main Oval will highlight Ohio’s early voting window, which as of yesterday allows for voters to cast their ballots in person at designated early vote locations across the state. The rally, held the day before Ohio’s voter registration deadline, will also encourage attendees to register to vote for the first time, or update their registration.

Springsteen endorsed Senator Obama in April, writing that the Democratic nominee “speaks to the America I’ve envisioned in my music ... a country that’s interested in its collective destiny and in the potential of its gathered spirit.”

“Senator Obama is a great fan of Bruce Springsteen and is honored to have his support,” said Aaron Pickrell, the Ohio State Director of the Obama-Biden campaign. “His presence at the rally will provide our campaign with the opportunity to mobilize tens of thousands of our supporters in one place to go out and vote early, as well as to register new voters and sign up new volunteers who will help our campaign for change send Barack Obama to the White House.”
